Set in Gilead, a society that has overthrown the United States government, ruled by a fundamentalist regime that treats women as state property. In a desperate attempt to repopulate a world devastated by environmental disasters and a plummeting birth rate, fertile women are forced into sexual servitude. One woman, Offred, is determined to find the daughter that was taken from her and survive the terrifying reality.

The Handmaid’s Tale was the first streaming series to win both the Golden Globe and Emmy Award for Best Drama Series.

In season 1, the colonies were explored – where infertile women and regime opposers are sent to clean up toxic waste, Offred became more rebellious, and one of the handmaids died.

Get ready to spend more time in Gilead in July when season 2 of The Handmaid’s Tale returns to M-Net (DStv channel 101) and streaming live on DStv Now.

DStv Now can be accessed online at now.dstv.com or through the app for tablets and smartphones. The app is free to download on the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and is available to all DStv customers.
